This week’s TWD recipe is Blueberry Crumb Cake from pages 192-193 of Dorie Greenspan’s baking book, Baking: From my Home to Yours chosen by Sihan of Befuddlement.
I was thrilled with Sihan’s choice as I love blueberries AND crumb cake. Besides, it seemed like and easy and quick recipe to make. The only thing I didn’t like was hauling out my food processor to combine the topping, but hey, it’s all in a day’s work.
The only minor changes I made were:
- increased lemon zest from a 1/2 lemon to a whole lemon
- increased cinnamon to 1 tsp
I also used used mini spring-form pans to bake four individual cakes. The topping was so good – buttery and sweet! Dorie was right, this cake certainly can be served as is.
Thanks Sihan for choosing such a delicious recipe! Visit Befuddlement for the Blueberry Crumb Cake recipe. Also, visit the Tuesdays with Dorie Bakers Blogroll to view their Blueberry Crumb Cake creations.
LOL – I also to pull out the food processor, because it inevitably has to be cleaned! Your mini cakes look great.
I hear ya, I’m always trying to avoid pulling out extra kitchen equipment! This was worth it, though.
(I have a little cookbook addiction, too.)
Yours looks so perfect and so pretty. I love the size and shape. I am going to have to try again…mine just would not get done in the middle until it was too done on the outside. I increased the lemon also…after all, what were going to do with the zest of the other half of the lemon? Well, that was my excuse anyway! Yours are truly beautiful.
What cute little cakes! I’ll have to make small versions next time.
That looks so good! My kids love blueberry muffins…I wonder if they would like these?
Yours came out looking good!
We really enjoyed making this cake, and our coworkers couldn’t have been happier about it.
Liliana!! I’m so glad you found my blog because it led me to your lovely blog–and can I tell you how fabulous your blog is?! I really want to try that vegetarian chickpea chili that you just posted about. I love vegetarian recipes–and I especially love chickpeas, so it’s perfect! And, of course, being the dessert/sweets lover that I am, your crumb cake looks totally fabulous!
WOW! Liliana, what lovely Crumb Cakes! They’re adorable and so yummy looking!
Mini’s
Wonderful.
I made a different crumb topping. It is fabulous.
Your cakes look amazing-so nice and tall! Great job!
Your cake turned out fabulous in the mini springform!
Your individual cakes look so great. I really need to build up my supply of cute pans for baking!
What beautiful ideas you had for this one!
Oh my gosh – these are the cutest cakes ever! I have to pull out my mini springforms and do these again!
The more recipes I see from Dorie, the more I think I need this book. And now I think I need mini springform pans – how cute!
